EP45-UD3P Random ShutDown.

Hey there, Thanks in advance for your help. I have seen people are very helpful on these forums.

Heres my problem. This is a Brand Spanking new UD3P Motherboard. The reason i switched from an Evga 780 ftw and asus striker extreme 680 is because i have been having sata controller problems with them which they are notorious for. So i switched to this motherboard and the problems seem to vanish and new a new one appeared.

The first time i put all the components together every thing seemed to work flawlessly. Then after about 2 hours the PC shut down on me. Looked at event viewer in computer management and there was nothing logged. Weird i said to myself. So i Googled the mishap and came upon this forum. Read through a couple Posts and this one caught my eye.

Re: EP45-UD3P Random ShutDown.

Did you load OPTIMIZED bios settings before you changed and bios settings?
Have you run any extended stability programs (Prime95, OCCT, Orthos, Memtest86+)?

Click on the last line in my signature and copy the P45 bios template into a text editor (e.g. Notepad).
Fill in your bios settings, AUTO or manual entries, and post your settings.
Note: Ignore any bios settings in the template. The first P45 template has comments & suggestions, the second P45 has most comments removed.

If your system isn't overclocked, try the suggested bios settings in this post.

Sorry for the late response i have been quite busy with other things. Anyway i have taken some pictures of my bios settings figured it would be quicker than filling out the bios template.

To answer some of the questions.
ProfJim:
I did load the optimized defaults.
I have not used the any of the extended stability programs.
Chike:
This happens at under stress and when the system is sitting idle. So at any time it could just shutdown on me.

Re: EP45-UD3P Random ShutDown.

Sorry to be a PITA, but I can't help you without your posting your bios template in text format.
Many of us are helping many members at the same time and it's way too time consuming looking at 7 bios fotos every time I return to your thread.
